Transcript

00:00We said this last week, it felt like there was a change that celebrities who support

00:06or even if they don't publicly support Donald Trump, but they agree with some of his policies,

00:12they are now feeling more comfortable speaking out and talking about these things.

00:18We started with Sylvester Stallone, Mark Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Carrie Underwood is throwing her

00:28hat in the ring, too, because we broke a story this morning that she is going to be performing

00:35at the inauguration.

00:37This is a difference in kind from his last inauguration.

00:43For years, everyone has always said, well, the only celebrities who publicly align with

00:46Trump are Kid Rock and Scott Baio.

00:52That's not the case now.

00:53Look, I don't know what Carrie Underwood's politics are.

00:57She's kind of kept that separate from her career, unlike a lot of other celebrities.

01:04The fact that you don't know, and she's been around for so long.

01:06I also don't think it's fair to assume that she, that this means...

01:11We don't know what it means.

01:12Yeah.

01:13It doesn't mean anything other than it's a high profile gig, so it makes sense for her

01:18to take it.

01:19Yeah.

01:20And what's interesting, guys, is I actually just got a statement from Carrie Underwood.

01:23In the statement, she says that she's happy to answer the call, that she feels like that

01:28this is a time that we need to reunite the country.

01:30And as you mentioned, she really has not been political at all.

01:34Even when Trump was going through his campaign, she wasn't one of the celebrities who was

01:39speaking out for him.

01:40But now, of course, that he's president, she's getting in line.

01:43And I think it's interesting to remember, it was just days after he won the election

01:47that Sylvester Stallone came out and was patting him on the back at an event.

01:52And all these A-listers now are starting to cozy up to Trump.

01:55And let's be honest.

01:56I mean, Carrie Underwood is in a different class than Kid Rock, who performed in 2016.

02:01No shade to him.

02:02But we're just seeing a different caliber of star now coming out for Trump.

02:06Well, this is Sue Smith from South Carolina, and I just want to say that Carrie Underwood

02:11has always been apolitical.

02:13You never really knew which way she went, but I'm sure she's going to do a fabulous

02:17job singing.

02:18I love her voice.
